It is that time of year in Holland...time for Ertwernsoep!
Ertwensoep (also known as snert) is a typical Dutch winter meal. It is a pretty thick meal of a soup, but that's how it should be. In fact, the Dutch believe that erwtensoep should be so thick that you can stand a spoon upright in it. It's traditional to serve this hearty winter soup with slices of rookworst (smoked sausage) and rye bread topped with katenspek (a type of Dutch bacon that is first cooked, then smoked).
